Honorable Mayor and Council Members
City of Diamond Bar
RE: City Manager’s Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27 Presented for your consideration and approval, is the City’s Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27.
Background: Ongoing General Fund Structural Deficit
The Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget reflects the second year of the City’s ongoing structural deficit – a structural deficit is where recurring revenues are not able to keep up with the rate of inflation and cost increases. Unlike one-time or cyclical shortfalls, a structural deficit requires deliberate and ongoing policy actions, such as revenue enhancements, expenditure reductions, service-level adjustments, or other reforms, to eliminate the underlying gap. Though the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget is balanced due to one-time revenue increases from realigned Use Fees, the updated Ten-Year General Fund Forecast remains largely unchanged from the prior year under a status quo scenario. Unless new recurring revenues materialize, or further service level reductions are made, the City can expect to see significant deficits starting as soon as next FY 2027/28 wherein a deficit of $790 thousand is anticipated even at the City's current reduced service levels. If this pattern holds, the City can expect to see the complete utilization of the General Fund’s $30 million fund balance by year eight, putting at stake the high quality of life, level of public safety and public infrastructure the City has prized since incorporation. Accordingly, while the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget represents an important step toward fiscal stability, continued discipline will be necessary to maintain structural balance in future years. The Ten-Year General Fund Forecast is included in the accompanied budget schedules.
Proposed FY 2026/27 General Fund Budget Overview
The Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget reflects a continued focus on longterm fiscal sustainability, responsible stewardship of public resources, and the 8 Draft
preservation of essential City programs and services. Compared to the prior year, the City has made meaningful steps toward addressing its structural deficit through a combination of revenue enhancements and significant expenditure reductions. Hence, the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget includes updated development-related user fees and multiple reductions to selected programs and services. These proactive actions eliminated an initial starting deficit of $1.6 million, producing a balanced General Fund budget for the upcoming fiscal year. However, the expected growth of updated revenues is not anticipated to match the growth in the rate of inflation and cost increases for utilities, maintenance, insurance, personnel, and contract/professional services facing the City (as shown in the ten-year forecast). This fact necessitates further action to reduce costs or increase revenues ahead of the next fiscal year.
Presently, General Fund revenues in FY 2026/27 are projected to increase by
5.6% compared to the prior year. As mentioned above, this increase is primarily attributable to updated user fees for development-related services, which are projected to increase by 76.8% in the coming year (however, future year growth is expected to be approximately one percent based on historical fee activity). This update brings total development fee revenues to approximately $4.1 million. These updated fees better align cost recovery with the cost of providing services and reduce the extent to which General Fund resources subsidize development activity.
In addition to revenue enhancements, the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget includes approximately $987 thousand in reductions to programs and services.
These reductions were necessary to balance the budget while preserving core municipal services and maintaining the City’s commitment to fiscal discipline.
Although difficult, these reductions reflect a measured and proactive approach to addressing the City’s ongoing fiscal challenges. As a result of these efforts, the Proposed FY 2026/27 General Fund Budget is balanced and proposes the one-time use of fund balance in the amount of $27 thousand for the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan Update.
9 Draft
Despite fiscal challenges, the proposed budget continues to prioritize implementation of the City Council’s high-priority objectives and remains guided by the three overarching goals in the adopted FY 2024–2027 Strategic Plan:
• Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
• Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
• Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community
FY 2026/27 Department Work Plans
The FY 2026/27 Department Workplans included herein highlight some of the key initiatives and projects that will be supported, with funding sources, over the next year, as well as what has been accomplished during the prior year. These Workplans items are each tied to the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives, and Performance Measures, as a way to measure progress. 10 Draft
2024-2027 Strategic Plan
In April 2020, the City Council adopted the 2021-2024
Diamond Bar Strategic Plan which set high-level
aspirational goals and priorities for the community
over a three-year period. With the close of Fiscal Year 2022/23, the City Council adopted an updated 2024-
2027 Strategic Plan in April 2023. The new Strategic
Plan builds upon past success and is designed to
serve as the foundation for consistent policy and
funding decisions, while being flexible enough to
adapt to new, unforeseen challenges and issues.
The 2024-2027 Strategic Plan includes the following
Core Values:
• Community & Livability
• Transparency & Accountability
• Service & Professionalism
To meet these Core Values, the plan establishes Goals and Objectives that set priorities for consistent policy making and guide the day-to-day operations of the City. Performance Measures are also identified which are used as key indicators to gauge progress over time. There are three (3) overarching Goals that include:
1. Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
2. Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
3. Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community
11 Draft
General Fund Revenues: $34.1 Million
Proposed General Fund revenues for FY 2026/27 have increased $1.8 million, or
5.6%, when compared to the prior FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget. The following are noteworthy General Fund revenue items incorporated into the proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget. The table below compares the prior year adopted budget to the Proposed FY 2026/27 Budget, and the percent of change for next fiscal year.
Property Taxes Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY 2026/27
The estimated change in the City's net taxable
value of secured real property for FY 2026/27 is
expected to increase 3.6% ($155 thousand). This
increase is offset by decreases for unsecured and
supplemental property tax rolls which will result in a
net year-over-year change to all Property Tax
revenue categories of 0.6%. The City uses HdL as a
consultant to help monitor, audit and project this
major revenue source.
$6,971,047 $7,013,000
0.6%
Property Tax in Lieu of VLF (Vehicle License Fees) Adopted Proposed FY 25/26 FY 2026/27
This major revenue source grows at the same
general pace as the City's net taxable value (3.6%).
The City’s consultant, HdL, also assists with the
projection of this significant revenue item.
$8,107,449 $8,399,320
3.6%
Sales Taxes Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY 2026/27
Sales tax revenue is projected to decline by $98
thousand compared to the prior year. This
$6,413,700 $6,315,937
12 Draft
downward revision is primarily driven by updated
assumptions regarding statewide and national
economic growth. The City is seeing continued
declines across key sectors, including Business &
Industry ($88 thousand), Fuel & Service Stations ($74
thousand), Food & Drugs ($74 thousand), and
Building & Construction ($7 thousand). These
decreases were offset by increases to General
Consumer Goods ($84 thousand), Restaurants ($38
thousand), and online sales distributed by the
County Pool ($30,000).
For the fourth quarter of 2025 (October–
December), Diamond Bar experienced a 5.9%
decline in sales tax revenue compared to the same
quarter in 2024, ranking 78th out of 88 cities in Los
Angeles County. This trend appears to reflect
Diamond Bar’s unique retail composition, as at least
one neighboring LA County city experienced a
3.9% increase during the same period.
-1.5%
Transient Occupancy Taxes Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY 2026/27
Transient Occupancy Tax is projected to increase
by $90 thousand based on current trends.
$1,449,000 $1,539,000
6.2%
Use of Money & Property Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY 2026/27
Investment Income – General Fund investment
income is anticipated to decline $329 thousand as
the City's portfolio reflects changes to the interest
rate environment and Federal Open Market
Committee policy.
$1,249,000 $920,260
-26.3%
Rental Revenue – Revenue from rentals at the
Diamond Bar Center is anticipated to increase by
$52 thousand.
$1,102,500 $1,163,000
Field and Park Facility Rentals, and related Facility
Security Charges, are anticipated to decrease by
$1,500.
5.5%
Cell tower lease revenue is projected to increase
$10 thousand due to CPI adjustments for current
leases.
13 Draft
Current Service Charges Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY 2026/27
Development Fees – Revenue from Building,
Planning and Engineering activity is estimated to
increase $1.8 million due to the recent
comprehensive update to the City's User Fee
Schedule which aimed to recoup the full cost of
providing these services.
$2,315,210 $4,092,688
76.8%
Recreation Programs – Program revenue is
projected to increase $4 thousand mainly due to
Contract Classes and Athletic Programs, offset by a
reduction to Youth Programs.
$618,425 $622,675
0.7%
Gas Tax – Transfer In Adopted Proposed
FY 25/26 FY 2026/27
The Transfer-In from the Gas Tax Fund reimburses
the General Fund for eligible road maintenance
activities each year. However, as maintenance
costs continue to rise, available Gas Tax revenue
remains insufficient to fully cover these expenses.
$1,435,000 $1,435,000
0.0%
General Fund Expenditure Budget: $34.2 Million
Proposed recurring General Fund expenditures for FY 2026/27 have increased $1.8 million, or 5.6% when compared to the prior FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget. In addition, staff is proposing a one-time expense in the amount of $56 thousand for the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, bringing total proposed expenditures to $34.2 million.
In response to declining revenues and an initial $1.6 million starting deficit, staff conducted a thorough review of all expense accounts and took deliberate steps to reduce or eliminate expenses in order to present a balanced budget for the upcoming year. As a result, $987 thousand has been reduced from the 14 Draft
General Fund which significantly affects programs and services for the upcoming fiscal year. These reductions are in addition to $250 thousand in ongoing reductions to the FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget which reduced budgets for vehicle replacements and the parking lot slurry seal program at various parks.
Key reductions reflected in the Proposed FY 2026/27 General Fund Budget, as presented during the Community Budget Workshop #1 (held March 3, 2026), are presented in the table below:

Total Reductions $ (986,947)
Notwithstanding the aforementioned reductions, the following highlighted items are presented for City Council consideration:
Public Safety:
• Law Enforcement – FY 2026/27 County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) expenditures are expected to be approximately $9.1 million, representing the single largest line item and approximately 26.6% of proposed General Fund expenditures (down from 27.4%). LASD proposed expenditures reflect a net increase of $265 thousand year-over-year, inclusive of a contract rate increase of 2.3% (down from 4.37% in the prior year) plus an increased Liability Trust Fund (LTF) surcharge of 14.5% (up from 13% in the prior year) on each contracted position. The General Fund includes a transfer-in from the Law Enforcement Reserve Fund in the amount of $25,000 for as-needed special assignments and suppression patrols which have proven to be a cost-effective approach to reducing crime and responding to specific public safety issues throughout the year. • Crossing Guard Services – The City provides Crossing Guard Services at seven (7) elementary schools and two (2) middle schools with a total of 16 guards. The total budget for crossing guard services in FY 2026/27 is $289,800.
• Animal Control – Since incorporation, the City has contracted with the Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) for animal control and licensing services. The current agreement, last amended in 2021, follows a gross contract model in which the City pays the full cost of services, offset by any licensing revenue collected by IVHS. Since last year, three large member cities have withdrawn from IVHS (Montclair, Chino, Ontario), with the City of Baldwin Park recently being added into IVHS’ service territory 16 Draft
effective July 1, 2026. IVHS also expanded with the acquisition of the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society, which includes the cities of San Gabriel and Temple City.
While FY 2025/26 experienced a one-time cost increase of 15%, the FY 2026/27 proposed increase for IVHS Animal Control services is 3%.
The gross cost for this contracted service in FY 2026/27 is anticipated to be $667,300. After accounting for estimated licensing and service fee revenues of $80,000, the proposed budget of $587,300 reflects an increase of $15,500 compared to the previous fiscal year.
Human Resources – Each year, the City Council adopts the Compensation and Benefits Plan for the upcoming fiscal year which includes cost of living adjustments, and employee positions with associated salary ranges and benefits. To remain an “Employer of Choice” in the region the City must continue to reinvest in its personnel (i.e. human capital) in a manner similar to its capital projects and infrastructure. To identify and prioritize investment in organizational staffing and organizational structure, and to maintain, enhance and expand City programs, the City has developed a focused effort, led by members of the City Manager’s executive team, referred to as the Human Capital Investment Program (HCIP). This year, staff is planning on implementing flexible staffing solutions to replace current vacant part-time positions in the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments. These position swaps will maintain the City’s commitment to investing in optimizing service delivery while providing minimal fiscal impact in the upcoming year. Having an agile workforce able to respond to the changing needs of the community and carry out City priorities is essential. There are sufficient budgeted resources in the proposed departmental budgets; and the positions, as well as salary ranges, already exist in the City’s classification and compensation plan. Therefore, the following position swaps are requested for FY 2026/27 for a total year-one savings of $2,040.
*Assumed 3.0% COLA in years 2-5.
• Cost-of-Living Adjustment – The City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations specify that the City Manager may request that the City Council authorize a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for employees based on the March-toMarch rates of the federal Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in Los Angeles/Orange Counties. This year’s CPI calculation in March 2026 was 3.6%. In order to avoid real wage losses and remain an “Employer of Choice” in the surrounding Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and 17 Draft
San Bernardino counties, it is recommended that the salary schedules for all benefitted classifications of employment including all executive positions, be increased by 3.6% effective with the pay period beginning June 27, 2026. A $100 per month increase to the Benefit Allotment is also recommended for all benefitted classifications of employment including the executive positions and members of the City Council to help keep up with corresponding health premium rate increases. This annual COLA and Benefit Allotment adjustment is a routine maintenance item to preserve the City’s competitive compensation structure. The total estimated cost is approximately $432 thousand, of which $378 thousand is funded by the General Fund.
Parks & Recreation –The proposed Parks & Recreation department budget was developed based on continued community interest in valuable programs, services, and events. With City Council support, the department made several strategic adjustments while considering the financial challenges facing the City.
These adjustments include the cancelation of the Winter Snow Fest Event, Movies in the Parks, and reductions to the Concerts in the Park series. Several programs and events offered this year to support an active and healthy community include summer youth day camp, senior activities & dances, field allocations for sports organizations, contract classes, picnic reservations, and community special events. This fiscal year will also include the Wedding and Event Expo at the DBC, which serves to promote the facility and is a mostly a cost-neutral event. Traditional special events, including the Windmill Lighting, Veterans Recognition Ceremony, and the Halloween Party, will continue to bring the community together.
Expenses for recreation programs ($2.75 million, a 0.6% decrease) and Diamond Bar Center operations ($1.81 million, a 2.8% increase) have been adjusted commensurate with anticipated activities and service level reductions for a combined budget of $4.56 million, a total increase of $32 thousand from the prior year. Total departmental revenue, including Diamond Bar Center rentals ($750 thousand, an increase of $50 thousand from the prior year) and other recreation program revenue ($622 thousand, an increase of $4 thousand from the prior year amount) is budgeted at $1.37 million for FY 2026/27.
Special Revenue Fund Highlights
• Integrated Waste Management Fund (250) – The proposed budget of $1.1 million includes a proposed line item for $180 thousand for a routine Residential and Commercial Waste Hauler Compliance Audit, a reimbursable cost paid for by the waste haulers. In addition, $21 thousand is proposed for expanded student waste reduction and recycling field 18 Draft
trips. Additionally, the City has maintained a student environmental education program for 3rd-6th graders with Discovery Cube for several years. This program, budgeted at $40 thousand, has been well-received by schools as it provides a fun and interactive way to educate students about recycling, organic waste, and sustainable purchasing choices.
Additionally, it supports the goals of SB 1383, particularly through Discovery Cube’s organics lab, which includes composting and vermicomposting activities.
• Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) – Much work has been done in recent years to address operating deficits and reduce General Fund subsidies to the LLADs, particularly Districts 39-2022 and 41-2021. Total General Fund contributions to all three districts for FY 2026/27 is budgeted at $149 thousand, a decrease of $126 thousand from the prior year.
Budgeted resources and expenditures for all three districts for FY 2026/27 are shown below. It should be noted that some districts are utilizing fund balance for proposed operations and that the General Fund subsidy to LLAD No. 38 was reduced as part of the budget balancing strategy for FY 2026/27:
• Traffic Mitigation Fund (246) – The City receives Traffic Mitigation Funds to address transportation system impacts associated with development. Staff is recommending the establishment of a prioritized list of street improvement projects to ensure these funds are deployed strategically and transparently. The proposed budget of $350,000 will utilize interest earned on the funds to aid the City’s effort to:
o Align traffic mitigation fund expenditures with nexus and eligibility requirements
o Prioritize traffic mitigation projects that best improve traffic flow and safety
o Provide a clear and defensible framework for future project selection.
19 Draft
• Tres Hermanos Fund (248) – The proposed budget of $120 thousand (an increase of $40 thousand) is for the City’s share of maintenance costs provided to the Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority.
• AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – The proposed budget of $74 thousand represents no change from the prior year. A total of $35,000 is being shifted from the neighborhood traffic management program (NTMP) to fund the lease of four (4) zero-emission fleet vehicles, leaving sufficient funds in the amount of $39,000 to accommodate citizen requests for traffic improvements.
• Beverage Container Recycling Grant Fund (254) – The proposed $14 thousand budget includes new recycling receptacles for business and school programs.
• Hazard Mitigation Fund (256) – The proposed budget of $221 thousand is requested to updated the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan in order to remain in compliance with FEMA and State planning requirements. City staff submitted a grant application in 2025 and are awaiting FEMA’s determination. There is a corresponding request of $56,000 from the General Fund to meet the granting agency’s 25% cost-share requirement. • Park Development Fund (262) – The proposed budget of $250 thousand is for the construction of the Sycamore Canyon Park Lower Bridge Replacement project as discussed in the FY 2026/27 CIP.
Internal Service Funds Highlights
• Debt Service Fund (401) – In May 2021, the City refunded the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.63 million (or 20.85%) for the General Fund, which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings for the remainder of the term through June 1, 2033 at an effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the Council’s conservative and prudent fiscal policies. The total debt service (principal and interest) for FY 2026/27 will be $722 thousand, and is funded by a transfer to the Debt Service Fund from the General Fund. 20 Draft
• Self-Insurance Fund (501) – CA Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) covers the City’s Property, Pollution Liability, Crime, General Liability and Workers’ Compensation needs. The combined premiums for Property, Pollution, Crime and General Liability are anticipated to be approximately $820 thousand, which reflects a year-over-year increase of $169 thousand (26%). This amount is up from the prior year increase of $117 thousand which, at the time, represented a year-over-year increase of 22%. All funding for the Self-Insurance Fund is provided by a transfer-in from the General Fund.
• Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund (502) – The proposed budget of $137 thousand is recommended for necessary operations and maintenance of the citywide fleet, as well as the lease of four (4) new zero-emission electric vehicles funded by a transfer-in from the AB 2766 Fund (fund 251) in the amount of $35 thousand. The remaining budget of $102 thousand is requested to cover fuel and maintenance costs for the City’s current fleet, and is provided by a transfer-in from the General Fund.
• Computer Equipment Maint. & Replacement Fund (503) – The proposed budget of $208 thousand is recommended for necessary information systems, hardware upgrades, and replacements, such as:
• Additional mobile touch screens for ELM project ($5 thousand) • (2) Multi-function Copier Replacements ($25 thousand) • (2) Firewalls ($15 thousand)
• (2) Timer Server Replacements ($18 thousand)
• Additional Tyler support for post go-live reporting ($45 thousand) Plus items carried over from the prior year:
• Phase 2 ELM System Integration with Laserfische and Financial System ($80 thousand)
• New Touch-Screens for Employee Time Keeping ($20 thousand) • Building Facility & Replacement Fund (504) – Proposed revenues include a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of $100 thousand, per the City’s adopted fund balance policy. There are no expenses proposed for 2026/27.
Fiduciary Fund
• OPEB Trust Fund (601) – The proposed budget of $115 thousand consists only of revenue via a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of 21 Draft
$88,000 and investment earnings in the amount of $26,600 designated to fund the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust, an investment vehicle managed by CalPERS for the purpose of reducing the City’s long-term OPEB liabilities (e.g. retiree medical costs). This amount is unchanged from the prior fiscal year. There are no expenses budgeted in this fund.
Proposed FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program
Conclusion
The Proposed FY 2026/27 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program reflects a disciplined and balanced approach to addressing the City’s ongoing fiscal challenges. Through updated user fees, increased General Fund revenues, and approximately $987,000 in program and service reductions, the proposed budget closes an initial $1.6 million deficit while maintaining funding for essential City operations and priority capital needs.
While this represents meaningful progress, the City’s long-term forecast projects a renewed General Fund shortfall of approximately $790 thousand in FY 2027/28. As a result, continued fiscal discipline and efforts to align ongoing revenues with ongoing expenditures will remain necessary. Staff will continue working on strategies to strengthen long-term fiscal sustainability, including opportunities to enhance revenues, control costs, and evaluate service delivery priorities and will explore recommendations with the City Council in the coming months.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Executive Management Team, especially Finance Director Jason M. Jacobsen, for their efforts in preparing this year’s Budget. I would also like to thank all of our talented and dedicated staff for their continued and unwavering flexibility, creativity and support in the delivery of city services.
22 Draft
I would like to recognize the City Council for their effective fiscal leadership and commitment to serving the community. It is through the City Council’s forwardthinking leadership and prudent fiscal practices, that Diamond Bar is able to deliver a commitment to service excellence and strive to achieve our Community Values: Community & Livability, Transparency & Accountability, Service & Professionalism.

WHAT IS THE BUDGET?
The budget is an annual financial plan for the City of Diamond Bar. It specifies the level of municipal services to be provided in the coming year and reflects strategic priorities set by the City Council.
The City of Diamond Bar's budget is designed to serve five major purposes:
Definition of policy in compliance with legal requirements for General Law cities in the State of California, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) financial reporting requirements and audit standards, and fiscal directions of the City Council.
1. Prepare the budget in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
2. Utilization as an operations guide for administrative staff in the management and control of fiscal resources.
3. Presentation of the City's financial plan for the ensuing fiscal year, itemizing projected revenues and estimated expenditures.
4. Illustration as a communications document for citizens who wish to understand the operations and costs of City services.

BASIS OF BUDGETING
The City of Diamond Bar's annual operating budget is prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted below:
1. The budgetary basis for governmental funds (e.g. General Fund, CIP Fund, Special Revenue funds, Debt Service Fund) is in conformity with GAAP, with a few minor exceptions. In conformity with GAAP, the modified accrual basis of accounting is used wherein revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period, while expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred. However, in the following cases the budgetary basis differs from GAAP:
a. Adjustments to recognize gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in their market value are not budgeted.
b. Items reported as “other financing sources” and “other financing uses” are classified as revenues and expenditures under the budgetary basis of accounting.
2. The budgetary basis for proprietary funds (e.g. Internal Service funds) is in conformity with GAAP, using the accrual basis of accounting for all revenues and expenses, except for the following instances:
a. The receipt of long-term debt proceeds, capital outlays, and debt service principal payments are budgeted, but allocations for depreciation and amortization
expense are not.
Each of the City's funds is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that records assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue and expenditures. Funds are established and segregated for the purpose of recording specific programs or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations.
The General Fund accounts for all the general revenue of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and for expenditures related to rendering the general services provided by the City. The City of Diamond Bar has twenty-nine Special Revenue Funds that are used to account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditure for particular purposes. The Capital Project Fund is used to account for the purchase or construction of major capital facilities. The Debt Service Fund is used to account for principal and interest payments on outstanding fixed rate bonds. Internal Service Funds are used to account for goods and services provided to other departments within the City such as liability insurance and equipment replacement.

BUDGET PROCESS
BUDGET STUDY SESSION DETAIL
The City Council devotes one Budget Study Session to the annual Capital Improvement Program for the upcoming fiscal year. At this CIP Study Session, staff presents the recommended draft 5-year Capital Improvement Program to the City Council along with the recommended projects for the upcoming fiscal year. Members of the City Council are presented with details on each individual project, along with its recommended budget and funding source, and are given the opportunity to propose new projects. A consensus is then reached at the study session as to the final list of projects to include in the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
The City Manager is responsible to the City Council for the faithful execution of the City Budget. In order to ensure authorized expenditures are managed in the most efficient and economical manner possible, the City Council authorizes the City Manager to increase or transfer appropriations within the General Fund, Special Revenue Fund or any other unrestricted Fund. The City’s budget may be amended in the following ways:
- If a fund has an Undesignated Fund Balance during the Fiscal Year, the City Manager may approve requests for budget increases with Council approval.
- Budget adjustments between a department’s line items with a null effect on the overall department budget may be made with the City Manager’s approval.
- During the fiscal year, the City Council may modify approved programs and activities or implement new activities that may require budget amendments. On such occasions when the Council approves a project without amending the budget, that approval will constitute authority for the Finance Director to amend the budget subject to the City Manager’s approval.
- The City Manager may approve budget amendments to carryover unspent appropriations from the prior year, as authorized by the annual budget resolution.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure a balanced annual operating budget and reporting procedures to safeguard public funds and maximize resources available for use by the City in delivering programs and services. A balanced budget is defined as a budget in which operating revenues should cover operating expenditures, including debt service. The ending fund balance must meet minimum policy levels. For the general fund, this level has been stablished at 25%. Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to exceed revenues in a given year; however, in this sutation, beginning fund balance can only be used to fund capital improvement plan projects, or other "one-time," non-recurring expenditures.
CAL Card Use Policy
The City of Diamond Bar has joined the CAL Card program which is administered through the State General Services Division and US Bank. This program provides a mechanism for government agencies to provide purchasing cards to their employees to expedite purchases of goods and services. This policy sets forth policies and procedures for CAL Card usage.
Compensation for City Commissioners/Committee Members
The purpose of this policy is to establish compensation for attendance at Commission/Committee Meetings for City Commissioners/Committee Members.
Drawing Warrants and Checks Upon City Funds
California State law requires the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and countersign all warrants and checks issued for payment from City funds. Government Code Section 37203 provides that the City Council may prescribe an alternative method for drawing warrants and checks. Through adoption of this Policy, the City Council established an alternative method to insure the timely drawing of warrants and checks upon City funds.
Travel, Expense and Reimbursement Policy
The City of Diamond Bar recognizes the value of attendance by City officials and employees at professional conferences, seminars, meetings with other government officials, professional organizations, community organizations, and constituents and ceremonial events and activities that promote or benefit the City.

policy establishes travel authorization, expense, reimbursement, and reporting standards consistent with the provisions of this policy and in compliance with California Government Code Sections 53232.2 and 53232.3.
Fixed Asset Capitalization and Inventory Control Policy The purpose of this policy is to ensure adequate control and appropriate use of City fixed assets. The procedures are intended to define fixed assets and to establish guidelines for budgeting, purchasing and disposing fixed assets. This policy does not apply to infrastructure assets.
Anti-Fraud Policy
To establish policy and procedures for clarifying acts that are considered to be fraudulent, describing the steps to be taken when fraud or other related dishonest activities are suspected, and providing procedures to follow in accounting for missing funds, restitution and recoveries.
Cash Handling Policy
The purpose of this policy is to safeguard public funds and also to maximize resources available for use by the City in delivering programs and services. These policies recognize the decentralized nature of the receipting and depositing process, while providing for standardized procedures.
Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish a key element of the financial stability of the City by setting guidelines for fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is an important measure of economic stability. It is essential that the City maintain adequate levels of unassigned fund balance to mitigate financial risk that can occur for unforeseen revenue fluctuations, unanticipated expenditures, and other unexpected circumstances. The fund balance also provides cash flow liquidity for the City's general operations.
Capital Financing and Debt Management Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the City's utilization of capital financing and debt for capital improvement projects, property acquisition, and projects whose useful life will exceed the term of the financing.
Unclaimed Funds Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish the proper disposition and accounting for unclaimed money in accordance with Government Code Sections 50050 through 50056.
Investment Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporarily idle cash and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled funds in accordance with the applicable local, state and federal laws.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE
Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fee (VLF)
The VLF is a tax imposed by the state on the ownership of registered vehicles. In 2004, the State issued a permanent reduction to the VLF. To offset the reduction to the VLF, the Cities receive additional property tax.
This 'property tax in-lieu of VLF' is determined by the change in the gross assessed valuation of taxable properties within the jurisdiction from the prior year. As mentioned, this tax is an additional property tax to the other property tax apportionments. These funds are included in the budget as 'Property Tax In-Liue of VLF' revenue.

The City receives funds from Sections 2105, 2106, 2107, and 2107.5 of the Streets and Highway Code. State law requires that these revenues be recorded in a Special Revenue Fund, and that they be utilized solely for street related purposes such as new construction, rehabilitation or maintenance. It is anticipated that the City will use Gas Tax Funds to fund ongoing street maintenance programs to the extent possible. Any remaining funds will be used to assist in the funding of the City's Capital Improvement Project Program. Beginning in FY 2011/2012, the State replaced Prop 42 funds with Highway Users Tax.

401 - DEBT SERVICE FUND
FUND DESCRIPTION
This fund was established to account for governmental debt incurred by the City. The Debt Service fund will account for the payment of principal, interest and related administrative costs incurred (e.g. bank fees). The General Fund makes a transfer-in to the Debt Service Fund to provide the resources needed to meet the City’s debt obligations.
The City’s only outstanding debt relates to the 2002 financing needed for the acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. In May 2021, the City refunded $7.83 million of the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original 2002 acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.633 million (or 20.85%) which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings to the General Fund for the remainder of the term (June 2033), and an effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the City Council's prudent fiscal policies. The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $722,000 for FY 2026-27. The current bonds mature June 1, 2033 and the outstanding amount is approximately $5.0 million as of July 1, 2026. The City’s legal debt limit as of July 1, 2026 is $477.9 million.
